Dowling's immediate plans are stymied by the attack, but while a pillow to the face isn't going to slow down Soldier 76, he's also not just fighting Dowling -- he's fighting Dowling with Batman's skills, and Batman frequently goes toe-to-toe with people who are faster, stronger, and more blood-thirsty than himself. He rolls with the hit and turns his opponent's momentum back on him, flinging Soldier 76 toward the window. Before the Legionnaire hits the glass though, he vanishes into the time stream like a swimmer into water.

"More interference," Dowling hisses, turning away from the window to sneer at Doubletime. "Did you think this would be enough to stop me? If so, you're a fool, and you're about to be a dead one."

Nightwing might want to make his entrance fast, or else who knows what kind of mess Dowling is going to make of Grif's brain?
